* Acer Aspire Ethos (cheap, slim, slow 3D, bad screen)
* Apple MacBook Pro (slim, don't trust win drivers, slow 3D Radeon 6750M)
* Dell Precision M6500 (4kg, good CAD 3D Nivida Quadro FX3800M based on (slower) GTX 280M, good screen, very expensive in a top config, bad sound). Low end version is much cheaper and has ATI FirePro M7820
 
None has what I would call a decent screen resolution. The actual trend is in fact towards less (i.e. HDTV 1900x1080 or 1900x900). So far, I don't think that any is really worth it (still got a XPS 1730 running).

About myself

Daniel K. Schneider was a former associate professor at TECFA, a research and teaching unit in the faculty of psychology and education, University of Geneva. Holding a PhD in political science, he has been working in educational technology since 1988 and participated in various innovative pedagogical and technological projects. He has been a prime mover towards the introduction of creative pedagogical strategies and ICT technologies. His long-term R&D interests focus on modular, flexible and open Internet architectures supporting rich and effective educational designs. His current interests include digital design and fabrication (e.g. 3D printing), collective intelligence, student monitoring/learning process analytics, e-learning competency and learning with technology in informal settings (e.g. citizen science). Within TECFA's "blended" master program in educational technology (MALTT), he taught educational information & communication systems, foundations of educational technology, "making", and research methodology. He retired in July 31 2020, but continues working as a consultant.

I am the initiator and coordinator of this wiki and will continue this work after my retirement (July 2020).
